Untitled by David Horvitz is a simple conceptual work with a strong and volatile potential. It is made just of a drawing and a textual instruction that the public is supposed to follow to finalize the artwork. The call to point the arrow to the sky changes the usual modality of interaction, shifting it from what one visualizes on the screen to the screen itself and the space surrounding it. In this way Horvitz challenges the relationship between the audience and the Link Cabinet exhibition space, as well as inviting us to redesign and reimagine the way we usually interact with our digital devices.
The work has been online on
Link Cabinet from April 27 to May 22, 2016. Here is some documentation of the exhibition.
